We stayed a few nights in the lighthouse. It was mysterious and picturesque! The host was amazing and very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great, and there were plenty of lunch- and dining possibilities. Views were stunning. If you want to try something different than your typical hotel or motel, this is the way to go!
